The regional split between Atlanta and DC/Baltimore comes somewhere just west of the Triangle, but it causes confusion. <br /><br />Case in point - perhaps five years ago we bought MLB Extra Innings on DirecTV but found Orioles games were all blacked out. DTV told us that the Orioles were our "home" team but as they were not on our "home" regional sports network, we would have to buy an additional package to receive those games. We aren't primarily Orioles fans, but games that they played against other teams would be blacked out otherwise. As it would have added another $60, we cancelled Extra Innings and have not been back. <br /><br />Since then the number of national games has increased and we get MASN. All that is trumped by our increased interest in the Bulls, full season tickets at DBAP is a lot of baseball!Orin Dayhttp://www.dwhoops.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-13138935312979887772011-09-16T18:23:04.232-04:002011-09-16T18:23:04.232-04:00I'm thinking that the Rays are missing a big b...I'm thinking that the Rays are missing a big bet by not pushing really hard to get more Rays games televised in this region on free-ish TV. Apparently the Gods of TV-land have decided that we are in the Baltimore/DC "region". Seems to me to be a win-win for the Rays since so many Bulls are there and it's fun to watch them play. <br /><br />Rays/Red Sox on MLB again tonight. I see it over Time-Warner for the Raleigh region.Chris W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12266137926441160311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502524904778687735.post-40623009154233231592011-09-16T17:09:57.378-04:002011-09-16T17:09:57.378-04:00The game was nationally televised on MLB Network, ...The game was nationally televised on MLB Network, they appeared to pick up the NESN feed. We saw that game on DirecTV here in Durham. It was indeed nice to see so many of our former Bulls doing well!Orin Dayhttp://www.dwhoops.comnoreply@blogger.com
